        <strong>About automatic thoughts</strong></p>
    <p class="MsoNormal">
        In the first chapter you learned that it is not the situation itself but how we interpret it that affects how we feel and behave in a certain situation. Different people can thus perceive the same situation quite differently. The interpretations are often made instinctively and have their origin in what a psychologist would refer to as automatic thoughts.</p>
    <p class="MsoNormal">
        Automatic thoughts are thoughts that just &quot;pop up&quot; without us consciously reflecting on them. They just exist in our minds by instinct or habit. This is different from the consciously controlled thoughts that you might have when you for example are planning what to do during the day or what to buy for dinner. While we perform this conscious planning, most of us are likely to have a lot of automatic thoughts arising in our minds. We decide not to think about them but they just &quot;flicker by&quot; spontaneously. This can for example be thoughts like &quot;I will not make it on time&quot;, &quot;I&#39;m glad that I made a cash withdrawal yesterday&quot; or &quot;I wonder where the pens are.&quot;</p>
